Elena's POV
Why do I feel guilty about kissing Stefan? Maybe it's because it feels like I am leading him on. Yes because I don't feel the same way about him like he felt about me. It had changed, it had only taken a week. One week and my whole fantasy fairy-tale with Stefan had been crushed and it wasn't even Damon's fault well it kind of was. I didn't want to be with him, I didn't feel the same way I felt last week. Everything had changed. And it's true because anything can change in a blink of an eye.
My vision of us dating and getting together, and being with each other for the rest of our lives had been shattered. Was it Damon's fault? Maybe. Was Damon the cause? Yes. But I couldn't deny it, I did like how I felt when I was Damon, I liked how we could be so casual, and I liked that we could talk to each other about everything. We were still acting normal towards each other even thought we had kissed multiple times now. It wasn't like it was with Stefan, where his kisses made me nauseas and nervous and sick. I felt sick after kissing Stefan at lunch but I kept that little bit of information to myself.
I didn't even feel guilty anymore that I had cheated on Stefan with Damon, I didn't regret kissing Damon. I craved to do it again. To feel his lips against mine and I know that I should not be thinking about this but still I could not stop myself even if I wanted to. Damon was the only thing that was currently on my mind.
We are now on our way towards Ric's house, Stefan is in the driver's seat and I called shot-gun, like it should be. Caroline and Bonnie are in the back seat talking boys and music and fashion while I was staring out the window. When I got home after school my mother had been waiting for me and she had spoken to me about boys. She wanted to give me that talk but I beat her to it and told her that the school and my father already had that talk with me. Because in actual fact my father was a very hands on man and he didn't want me making stupid mistakes while I was still in school.
That was one thing my father was adamant on, I needed to know what kissing lead to, unplanned pregnancy. Believe me it was awkward when we had talked about it and I surely wanted my mother to be the one to tell me where babies came from and how they were made and all the gory details. Even thou my parents trusted me to make the right choices they still wanted me to be safe. So my mother got me contraceptive medication and then she spoke to me about that. Even thou I told her countless times that myself and Stefan would never engage in sexual activities before marriage, well we were never going to, that's the point, she just wanted me to be safe. I could understand that.
She explained that anything could happy at a party or where boys might take their chances or I might be a victim to a sexual assault. It was better to be safe than sorry. I could understand that as well. Even if I did decide that I wanted to become sexually active, I could not count on a condom alone to be safe and to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. As I remember correctly it was because of a broken condom that I was born. Yes too much info I know.
After an hour long speech from mother dearest I headed upstairs and I started to get ready and now we are on our way towards Ric's place. I didn't get a chance to really think what I was going to say to Damon, what I was going to do about the whole situation. I just knew that we needed to talk, we needed to clear up things. I felt nervous and that was one thing that I could not explain to Stefan who was sitting next to me, his hand on my thigh and I felt absolutely sick.
"I really like Matt, I just wish he would ask me out." I can hear Caroline in the back of the car and I roll my eyes as I look over at Stefan and he just stays focused on the road.
"Why don't you just ask him out Caroline?" I ask turning half in my seat to look at my friends and trying my best to shake of Stefan's hand and she raises a brow at me. "I mean we live in the twenty first century, it's not uncommon for a girl to ask a guy out." I say and she actually glared at me.
"I'm old school, I believe that guys should be the one who asks the girl out." She says before brushing her bangs out of her eyes. "I want what you and Stefan have." She says and at this I turn towards Stefan and he's smiling like a maniac.
"Maybe he's just shy, Care. I'm sure he likes you but because my brother was such an ass last week he's just shy to ask you." Stefan says focussing once again on the road.
"Yeah your brother is an ass." Caroline agrees.
"What's up with him anyway Stefan?" Bonnie asks finally breaking her silence or I just didn't hear her speaking earlier.
"Don't know hay, Damon is Damon." He says turning on his indicator as he turns into the road where Ric lives.
"He's been really acting strange this week. I heard from Vicki that he's been going solo this week…" Caroline says and it is like it is a complete scandal that he does not have a skank on his arm this week. I roll my eyes at my friend because this wasn't a concern to any of us. "She did mention something about him being into a girl. He's been having strange Facebook statuses." She continues and I almost sigh, this is ridicules.
"I saw. I mean it's like weird soppy love quote. Wonder who is on his mind?" Stefan asks and the answer is simple. It was me.
"Well, all the girls are fighting for his attention." Bonnie says. Out of this conversation there is nothing positive. Like nothing.
"Guys just leave him be. He's a person to, you don't know if he likes someone or if he's in love." I find myself saying and that earns a gasp from Bonnie and Caroline because why would I stand up for the elder Salvatore. I would never do that in my right mind. If they only knew?
"You basically hate the guy, now you are standing up for him? What's up with that Elena?" Caroline asks and this seems to catch Stefan's attention as well.
"Just stop badmouthing other people Caroline. It's pretty fucked up. You are not God, you don't get to judge them and their actions." I say just as Stefan parks his car, and now silence has filled the car. Was I wrong to say that to my best friend? Maybe but it wasn't nice nor fair. So as soon as Stefan shuts of his car, I pop my safety belt and I bolt out of his car and towards Ric's house, the front door wide open.
I am well aware that I just bitched out my friend and stormed of but they were getting on my nerve and I mean Stefan was right there badmouthing Damon as well, what type of family does that? I stalk into the house that is packed with people drinking and dancing. I make a b-line for the kitchen and grab a red plastic cup walking over to the keg.
Yes I was on the verge of consuming shitty cheap beer. And that is just what I did. I poured myself a cup and then downed it, it felt like I was drowning out all my problems and frustrations and it felt good but it tasted like shit. As soon as I took the last gulp of the sucky bear I placed the empty cup on the counter. My friends have finally caught up with me, which feels like it took forever, took them long enough. But it seems that Stefan had disappeared to get us something to drink or so it may seem. Idiot, I was already standing right next to the keg.
I turn just in time as Matt wraps his arms around me to great me. "Holly shit Elena is that you?" He asks as he lets me go and he gives me a once over. I was wearing a pair of jean shorts and a pretty black boob tube that fit my body like a glove. I matched it with a pair of black cowboy boots and a petite necklace. My hair was wavy and let down, down my back. I wore a hint of mascara and some lip gloss. All I actually needed now was a cowboy hat.
To be honest Stefan had drooled over me as soon as he saw me. I even got a thumb up from our fashionista Caroline. My camera was tugged into my back pocket and my phone in my front pocket but this was a natural look for me and I could not understand the big fuss. I just smile at Matt like he's a complete idiot because sometimes he really is. I am standing silently and very awkwardly with Bonnie, Matt and Caroline waiting for Stefan to bring our drinks, when Damon strolled through the front door, he is completely alone, no date on his arm tonight. His eyes landed on me for a mere second maybe two, he looked a bit longer then he should before disappearing to the back yard. I would need to talk to him later. Or as soon as possible.
I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist and then I am in one of Ric's bear hugs and he twirls me around like I am a kid. When he places me on the ground he looks me up and down and whistles. "Damn Elena, if you weren't taken by Saint Stef and I wasn't after your niece then I would eat you up whole. You look mighty fine tonight." He states and I blush at his compliment, typical Saltzman.
"You're a stud yourself." I reply playfully as Stefan finally returns juggling our drinks. I take the cup he offers me and he hands Caroline and Bonnie each a cup filled with the cheap, horrible tasting beer. Oh what fun it was to be at a high school party. "Ric, your parents taste in alcohol is worst then Bonnies taste in men." I say earning a glare from Bonnie but she knows I'm joking or am I? After my little outburst I'm not really sure if I am joking.
I feel some weight shift from my back pocket and it seems that Ric has successfully removed my camera from my pocket. He switches it on and pull me to him before taking a picture and then another and one where he kisses my cheek. This might be the first time that I have ever been popular enough where a guy randomly walks up to me and takes a selfie with me. Well, that is until Stefan grabs the camera from him and he's on my other side now I have both these guys kissing my cheek and Stefan is taking a picture. I feel completely mortified by both men kissing me and it makes me sick to think that Stefan's lips are actually touching me, not that much for Ric thought. He kind of felt completely harmless.
Stefan is worse than Rebekah and Caroline combined when it comes to taking selfies. At first I thought that he would get angry at Ric's antics, which would be obvious because how would you feel if another guy kissed you girl even if it was only on her cheek, but he just joined in acting like there was nothing wrong with it at all and it made me feel a bit awkward. I finally caught sight of Damon and he's standing of to the side holding a red cup, he looks anything but happy and I can completely understand why. He even shoots me a glare which hurts.
But as soon as Ric and Stefan was finished with me, they made sure that all the girls got turns to be sandwiched between either Ric and Stefan or Ric and Matt or Stefan and Matt being kissed on their cheeks. I thought that I would get jealous about Stefan kissing other girls but I was surprised when I actually felt nothing and I even opted to take the pictures for the other people. I was sure that I saw Caroline blush seven kinds of red when Matt kissed her on the cheek. I couldn't help but laugh at that. Another pair of arms circled around my waist and when I looked to my side it was Elijah, Rebekah's elder brother that is now in college.
"Elijah! It's great to see you! I haven't seen you since you left for college!" I say as I turn around to give him a proper hug, in all he was a really great friend and I absolutely loved hanging around with him, he always seemed so mature, so natural, with him there was only good in people until you really fucked up.
"Well you never reply to my messages!" he states and for some weird awkward reason I feel uneasy in his arms, like I just do not belong. The feeling multiplied tenfold when I was with Stefan.
"I got a bit pre-occupied, I guess." I say sheepishly when he lets me go and I immediately take a step from him. That's when Damon decides to step in and make his presence known to everyone.
"Elijah! Man haven't seen you in ages!" Damon states as he gives Elijah's hand a firm shake. It was no secret that the elder Salvatore and the elder Michaelson were great friends, well he was one of Damon's only friend's along-side Ric that is. They shared mostly everything and anything except their taste in woman.
"Same to you. How's high school treating you?" Elijah asks glancing around. "No girl on your arm tonight?" he asked like it wasn't a normal occurrence for the elder Salvatore to not have a woman on his arm. Damon only shook his head from side, I'm not sure if he had a reply to Elijah or if he just didn't want to say anything.
"Nah, this one …" he started to say as he threw his arm around my shoulder pulling me close to him, and it didn't feel socially awkward at all. "Actually outed me for the bad horrible man whore that I really am so I guess the girls got scared away." I could not believe that Damon had just said that, how could he even think that, because that was complete bullshit, maybe he was just bullshitting me by telling me that he was in love with me. Maybe this whole thing was just a bullshit story. My mouth hung open as I looked up to him but Elijah only laughed at him like it was an everyday thing.
When Ric suddenly appeared out of nowhere with my camera, Elijah moved to my side and he was smiling brightly as Damon placed his lips to my cheek and I swear I tried to look upset, to fake anything but I was completely speechless and confused but there was still a smile on my face indicating that I actually enjoyed it. Right after the flash went off and the photo was taken I was pulled by my arm forward and completely out of Damon's grip and reach. It seemed that Stefan had seen Damon's actions and he was deeply offended by what his brother had done as he pulled me to his side and placed an arm around me.
"What the fuck Damon? That's really not cool." Stefan stated glaring at his brother and it is clear that the kiss on my cheek from the elder Salvatore had infuriated the younger brother, he actually seemed jealous. And I tried to understand where Stefan was coming from but the kiss to my cheek hadn't even upset me, even in the slightest, I rather enjoyed his lips on my skin.
Damon just starts chuckling as he places his hand on my upper arm. "Oh, you think Elena likes it when you kiss Bonnie on the cheek and Caroline? Her best friends? Don't give out what you can't take Stefan." Damon states narrowing his eyes at his brother before he pulls me back to him and out of Stefan's grip almost like he was taking me away from him and that I belong to him. Stefan snorts at Damon before he looks to me. And to be honest I stood behind what Damon said so I gave Stefan a disproving look.
"I mean… Elena you know…" Stefan was mumbling like a complete fool and then he lets go of me completely and now I am back at Damon side.
"Don't dish out what you can't take Saint Stef, and besides you were kissing them, she received kisses from Matt, you and Ric but you throw a hissy fit if I give her a peck on her cheek, and it wasn't even the other way around." Damon replied before continuing with a very sarcastic tone. "So chill out Stef. Not like she'll up and leave you for me." I look from Stefan to Damon and I frown at both of them. They were acting like complete children.
With that said Stefan just rolls his eyes at Damon like it was really no big deal but the facts that Damon pointed out was a tad bit irritating. Why would he get so angry, may I even say jealous? I mean seriously was Stefan that insecure? "Yeah, true she would never go for a fucking man-whore like you." He almost yells, all attention now centred around our little group I could not believe that Stefan would say that, well maybe behind Damon's back but not like this.
"Ouch Stef, that almost hurt." Damon states narrowing his eyes at Stefan almost pulling me behind him. He glances at me once more before looking straight at his brother and I am unsure what's going to happen now.
"You're just a fucking sour bastard Damon. You just don't get the girl, you don't get to fall in love, and keep her, and you're a heartless fuck." Stefan steps closer towards, and Damon just stands his ground as he looks at Stefan. I could not believe what I had just heard, I mean seriously why these two would be acting so strange, basically on the verge of throwing punches at each other. "There is no place in your heart for anyone except yourself."
"Stefan!" I find myself yelling as I try to make my way over to him but Elijah grabs a hold of me and pulls me back.
"I really don't give a fuck. Because you know nothing." Damon countered casually staring down Stefan. He was showing no emotion towards the younger Salvatore what so ever, it's like water of off his back but I knew the meaning behind his last sentence, Stefan didn't know anything.
And that's when Stefan's fist connected with Damon's jaw sending him to the ground, he was hit with so much force that it sent him tumbling to the ground onto his ass. I stare in horror as Damon sit up and brings his hand to his lip, there's a small smudge of blood on his fingers and then he looks up at Stefan with a smile, he is actually smiling as he start to rise from the ground.
"Fuck you baby bro." Damon says and he turns on is heel and elegantly walk away from the crowd like nothing had even happened. What the hell was that? Why did Stefan just snap like that, there wasn't even a reasonable cause for him to act like that. I look up at Elijah and then to Ric's shocked face as they now look towards Stefan and he's seething with anger.
"What the fuck are you all looking at?" Stefan yells and I just can't believe what I saw but the way everyone just scattered leaving me with Stefan, Ric and Elijah was swomething. These people could really move away quickly.
Elijah still has his hand on my arm as he keeps me in place. "Stefan that was uncalled for!" Ric exclaims as he now stands in front of me, like they are trying to protect me or something.
"Fuck you Ric!" Stefan yells in rage.
"Fuck off, I don't want you here." Ric says and Stefan relaxes for a mere second.
"Fine, I'll fucking leave." Stefan says and this is the first time I have seen him this angry, this mad. I could not believe that I actually liked this guy. That I am actually dating him. "Elena, let's go." Stefan calls to me but I just shake my head from side to side in disbelief. I was going absolutely nowhere with him.
"No." I say and both Ric and Elijah look at me in surprise.
"Elena, let's go." He says more firmly this time.
"I said no Stefan, you need to go and cool down or something." I say and he's glaring daggers at me. His eyes instantly softens up and then he half smiles at me. "Just leave." I say one last time and this time I don't wait around to see his reaction. I turn on my heel, I needed to find my friend, and I needed to find Damon to see if he's okay. I walk off without another word or anything from Stefan, Elijah and Ric.
